Analogue OS

Someone out there has decided that we get way too much sleep.🥱 But what do you need sleep for, when you can enjoy your free time just with a huge selection of games for a no less huge number of game consoles?

What sounds like every gamer's dream is also the holy grail of retrogaming: a game console that can accurately emulate all relevant retro consoles. If the whole thing fits into the handheld form factor, works better than a software emulation thanks to a FPGA, comes with mature hardware, an overarching operating system, and you can even develop your own FPGA cores ... then a lot of people start drooling now. 🤤

Handkerchief within reach? Analogue OS is here.

Chances are you already know the various consoles from Analogue. Thanks to FPGA based implementation, the systems emulate a variety of retro game consoles and do so very competently.

The Analogue Pocket is a Gameboy-sized handheld, and thanks to the new OS, it opens up a wide range of possibilities. With the launch, GBA, GBC, GB, & GG. NGPC, NGP, TG16 and LYNX will be supported and more consoles are supposed to follow.

If you're a gamer or just looking for retro emulation hardware, this one should be for you.
